Year 2 - Maths
Calculating within 20
In this unit pupils will add 3 addends. They will use a strategy such as finding 2 addends to total 10 or 2 numbers to bridge though 10.
You will learn to compare the number of objects in two sets or describe the difference between two measures.
We can compare two sets of items. There are more ___ than ___. There are fewer ___ than ___. We can use a range of vocabulary to compare two measures. Longer/shorter, taller/shorter, heavier/lighter etc.
A larger quantity or amount. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
Mistake: Using less and fewer incorrectly when describing and comparing. Correction: Reinforce 'fewer' is used for things we can count (not as many) and 'less' is used for things we cannot count (not as much). Explore a range of examples of this together.
